PrediSan is a medical mission to the people of Honduras. |
 |
The name “PrediSan” comes from two Spanish words: predicar (to preach)
and sanar (to heal). These words occur in the Bible in Luke 9:2, when Jesus
sends his disciples out “...to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.”
PrediSan means “to preach and to heal.” |
 |
The mission began in 1986 when Dr. Robert Clark and his family moved to
Catacamas, Olancho, Honduras, Central America to teach basic health care
principles and techniques to community health volunteers in Catacamas
(population 36,000) and the surrounding mountain villages. |
 |
Today, 10 North American professionals and 54 trained Hondurans work in a
large clinic in central Catacamas... in two Community Health Centers in suburbs of
Catacamas... in five rural clinics in remote mountain villages... in an alcohol and
drug rehabilitation facility... and in a variety of educational initiatives. |
